We exist because:
Everyone has the right to safety from violence, abuse, and harm, and the people and systems creating change deserve to be empowered to make it happen.
We will make that a reality by:
Partnering with people and organisations to reduce violence, abuse, and harm. By simplifying complex challenges, building bridges across sectors, and helping frontline workers, organisations, and systems turn evidence into meaningful action. Rooted in care, lived experience, and curiosity, we bring our whole selves to everything we do, strengthening the people, partnerships, and places working for lasting change.
Creating the conditions for lasting change
Our safer systems framework™
We know that real, lasting change doesn’t happen overnight. That’s why we take a systems-thinking approach to preventing violence, abuse, and harm, working across the people, the systems, and the evidence that drive change.
Our Safer Systems Framework™ reflects how social change happens when these three forces work in synergy:
The People: individuals, professionals, and communities
The Structures: services, policies and processes
The Evidence: research, lived experience, and data
At the intersections of these pillars, we see the conditions for change begin to take shape, through behavioural, systemic, and cultural shifts. These ripple effects, when nurtured intentionally, can build safer, more responsive systems.
We focus our work:
Within the pillars: strengthening each foundation
At the intersections: building bridges between people, systems and evidence
Across the whole system: supporting long-term, sustainable change
Our goal is to support people and organisations to navigate complexity, turn insight into action, and build the foundations for safer lives, because everyone has the right to live free from violence, abuse, and harm.
